Chapter 83: A Burden

Qing'er? She said it so naturally.

Looking at his uncle who was carrying him to the ox-cart, and then at Lin Xiaoyue who was staring at her uncle without blinking, Xiao Qing suddenly had some guesses.

It must be!

Thinking of some possibilities, Xiao Qing looked at his uncle in surprise.

Ever since his uncle injured his face on the battlefield at the age of 15, his fierce reputation had spread in the circle. Since then, his grandmother and mother had been worried about his marriage.
